Poll: Official 2023 Australian Grand Prix Race Thread - Albert Park, Melbourne - Race 3/23

Sainz radio - Please guys. Do something please. I cannot still believe it. We are P3 and P4 and they took me out of the points for that. For a 1 lap incident. So unfair. I cannot believe they do this to me.

Pit - It's clear Carlos. It's clear. Let's finish this race and discuss it.

Sainz - Let me at least discuss with the stewards in the stewards room.

Pit - Of course, we'll go and see them just after


Sainz sounds like he's in tears.

Gave that a 2 for the actual race which was dull as dishwater, the rest of it was keystone cops by everyone so should have a category for comedy value.

When was the last ban for 12 penalty points? I can’t think of one.

I don't think anyone has hit the 12 points yet. Genuinely can't remember.

Ham forgetting Max was a World Champ

Max still having a pop at Lewis

Pathetic

Yep.
Max always runs drivers off the track when overtaking them up the inside of corner - short/selective memory syndrome !

And now it looks like for the restart where Verstappen was in P1, he may not have been in the correct place in his pit box.

It's not over yet. If it's a 5 second penalty (as has been the case this year), that would put him behind Hulkenberg in P7

And we've got the "O little Town Of Bethlehem" anthem now

I can guarantee that won’t happen

No-one has. Gasly would be the first.

Oh please god let it be so, but it won't be.

Now, that's a properly lovely trophy. Replica of Sir Jack Brabham's steering wheel with Aussie Silver and Diamonds.

Alonso is P3 in the drivers' championship!

 

[Mr Jack]

Totally inconsistent if it doesn't. I thought he was out when I saw it. Be amazing if it does happen

 

[Slam62]

Let's wait for the photos

 

[chrismscotland]

I have to admit, I'm loving seeing Alonso on the podium - I just hope that Aston has the speed to win him a race this season

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Photos are already on autosport forum and he looks to be on the line

 

[Slam62]

Yeah one of the alpines was well forward

Imagine the top 3 finishers are not correct. Would have just been a waste of this afternoon.
I know plenty say they will turn off because red bull is too fast this year, but it's results being decided after the race that is the killer for me.
